In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a light-transmissive electronic cigarette, which includes a cartridge 1 and a light source lamp 21, such as an LED lamp. The cartridge 1 comprises a reservoir 11 and a light-permeable cartridge housing 12. The reservoir 11 is used for storing the tobacco liquid, and the cartridge case 12 is light-permeable, i.e. the cartridge case 12 is made of transparent or semitransparent material. A light guide 22 is provided between the reservoir chamber 11 and the light source lamp 21, and the light guide 22 guides light from the light source lamp 21 to the interior of the reservoir chamber 11. The light guide body 22 guides the light into the liquid storage cavity 11, and the liquid smoke is stored in the liquid storage cavity 11 and can be used as a medium to transmit the light guided by the light guide body 22 and then emitted out through the shell of the cartridge to be seen by a user, so that the feeling of 'light emitting' of the liquid smoke is provided for the user. In addition, when the cigarette bomb is just used, the liquid storage cavity is filled with the cigarette liquid, and the whole cigarette bomb can emit light. After the tobacco juice consumes a part, the remaining tobacco juice is luminous, the luminous area is reduced, the user can obviously feel the volume of the remaining tobacco juice, and the user experiences the tobacco juice in use.

The electronic cigarette of the present invention includes an upper cartridge housing and a lower tobacco rod housing (not shown in the figures with respect to the tobacco rod and tobacco rod housing portions), which are collectively referred to as an electronic cigarette housing. Between the reservoir chamber 11 and the light source lamp 21, and between the light guide 22 and the inner wall of the housing of the electronic cigarette, there is a shielding portion 23 for blocking light from the light source lamp 21 from being directly conducted to the cartridge housing 12. Between the liquid storage cavity 11 and the light source lamp 21, the shell may be a smoke cartridge shell or a smoke rod shell according to different structures. Set up shielding part 23 between stock solution chamber 11 and light source lamp 21, the light that prevents light source lamp 21 is not directly transmitted to non-light tight cartridge shell 12 from other parts through the tobacco juice, can avoid cartridge shell 12 self luminous for the tobacco juice is luminous can be seen clearly by the user and can not receive the luminous covering and the influence of cartridge shell 12.

Specifically, the shielding portion 23 surrounds the electronic cigarette housing for one circle, so that light can be effectively prevented from directly irradiating the inner wall of the electronic cigarette housing. For example, the shielding portion 23 may be fixedly connected to an inner wall of the housing of the electronic cigarette, and the shielding portion 23 may extend from the inner wall of the housing of the electronic cigarette in a radial direction (e.g., in the x direction in fig. 1) to form a convex ring or a protrusion. The shielding portion 23 mainly shields a space near the inner wall of the housing of the electronic cigarette. Further, the shielding portion 23 abuts on the light guide 22 at one end in the radial x direction, and abuts on the inner wall of the housing of the electronic cigarette at the other end. Abutment is to be understood as both abutment and contact, including the case where two parts are partially embedded in each other. In order to prevent the side walls of the light guide 22 from transmitting light and directly acting on the light-transmitting cartridge case 12, the shielding portion 23 is adjacent to the side walls of the light guide 22, and thus light on the side walls of the light guide 22 can be further securely blocked.

Continuing to refer to fig. 1, light guide 22 has at least a part to stretch into the liquid storage cavity 11 inside, and light guide 22 upper end has a part to imbed the inside tobacco juice contact with in the liquid storage cavity 11 of liquid storage cavity, and light guide 22 directly faces the tobacco juice for the light that comes from light guide 22 directly, acts on in the tobacco juice concentratedly, has improved the leaded light efficiency, is favorable to increasing the luminous intensity of tobacco juice. As indicated by the arrows in fig. 2, it can be seen that light emitted from the light source lamp 21 is transmitted through the light guide 22, reaches the tobacco juice, and is transmitted by the tobacco juice to be emitted to the outside of the electronic cigarette.

Further, the lower end of the light guide 22 is adjacent to the light source lamp 21, and the area of the surface on which the lower end of the light guide 22 is located is larger than the area of the surface on which the light source lamp 21 contacts the light guide 22. That is, the light guide 22 sufficiently covers the light source lamp 21 to collect light emitted from the light source lamp 21 as much as possible, thereby reducing light loss and improving light guide efficiency. In addition, if the space where the light source lamp 21 is located is narrow, the volume and structure of the light guide 22 can be appropriately adjusted to adapt to the spatial distribution inside the electronic cigarette. The light guide bodies 22 may also be provided in a plurality, wherein a first light guide body is adjacent to the light source lamp 21, and the rest of the light guide bodies are arranged along the axial direction of the electronic cigarette in an extending manner until reaching the vicinity of the liquid storage cavity 11 and guiding light towards the liquid storage cavity 11.

In other embodiments, the light guide may be abutted against the bottom of the liquid storage cavity instead of extending into the liquid storage cavity, and at this time, the bottom of the liquid storage cavity 11 needs to be made of a light permeable material. The light permeable material is, for example, a transparent or translucent material. When there is one light source lamp 21, the light source lamp 21 may be disposed in the middle area of the electronic cigarette as much as possible, and accordingly, the light guide 22 may be disposed directly above the light source lamp 21 and adjacent to the light source lamp 21, so that light may be emitted from the middle area of the reservoir 11 to the outside of the electronic cigarette. In addition, a plurality of light source lamps may be provided. For example, in the middle of the reservoir 11 in FIG. 1, an air flow channel 13 is provided, and the air flow channel 13 divides the reservoir 11 into two parts. Two light source lamps 21 may be used to illuminate the smoke liquid in the two portions of the liquid storage chamber 11, respectively, to enhance the brightening effect.

Further, in the above embodiments, it is also possible to provide that only the light guide 22 and the cartridge housing 12 are made of light permeable material, and the rest are made of non-light permeable material.

In other embodiments, the e-cigarette housing is opaque between the reservoir chamber 11 and the light source lamp 21. Light is emitted through the tobacco smoke in the liquid storage cavity 11 as long as the light reaches the interior of the liquid storage cavity, and the light is regarded as light emitted by the tobacco smoke by naked eyes. The light which does not reach the inside of the liquid storage cavity 11 at the part below the liquid storage cavity 11 may be emitted by reaching the electronic cigarette shell, so the electronic cigarette shell between the liquid storage cavity 11 and the light source lamp 21 is made of a non-light-permeable material, and the light can be prevented from being transmitted to the light-permeable part of the cigarette bullet shell 12. The electronic cigarette housing between the reservoir 11 and the light source 21 may be a cartridge housing, i.e. the cartridge housing is light permeable in the portion above the bottom end of the reservoir 11 and not light permeable in the portion below the bottom end of the reservoir 11. Also the housing of the electronic cigarette between the reservoir 11 and the light source lamp 21 may be a cigarette rod housing, i.e. the cigarette rod housing is not light permeable at least in the part above the light source lamp 21 and below the bottom end of the reservoir 11.

In the above embodiments, the light source lamp 21 is a microphone lamp, and the electronic cigarette further includes a pneumatic microphone (not shown). When the user sucks, the pneumatic microphone is triggered, and the light source lamp 21 emits light. When the suction is stopped, the light source lamp 21 stops emitting light. This embodiment can improve under the structure of the original miaow head lamp of electron cigarette, for example light source lamp 21 has PIN needle 24 and public female head, circuit board isotructure in original structure, through setting up light guide body 22, guides light to the tobacco juice in to change the luminous characteristic of original electron cigarette near the tobacco rod or electron cigarette bottom, turn to the realization and let the luminous effect of tobacco juice. In other embodiments, the light source lamp 21 may be controlled by a button, and when the button is pressed, the light source lamp 21 emits light, and when the button is pressed, the light source lamp 21 stops emitting light.

In each of the above embodiments, the cartridge housing 12 is a fully transparent smooth housing. That is, the cartridge case 12 in this embodiment is not subjected to sand blasting, frosting, dermatoglyph processing, or wiredrawing processing, and the cartridge case does not have a plurality of reflective surfaces inside, so that the cartridge case 12 does not generate scattering. Such an arrangement does not allow the cartridge housing 12 to be entirely lit even if light is directed into the cartridge housing 12, i.e., light directly transmitted within the cartridge housing 12 does not cover light from the smoke liquid, but rather the light seen by the user from the e-cigarette cartridge is primarily light from the smoke liquid.

In the above embodiments, the cartridge housing 12 may also be a light-transmissive material that is dyed so that it is not visible through the cartridge housing 12 and is not visible through the interior of the reservoir chamber 11 when there is no light from the light source 21 within the reservoir chamber, and is visible through the interior of the reservoir chamber 11 of the cartridge housing 12 when there is light from the light source 21 within the reservoir chamber 11. The dyeing process can adopt the common color master treatment, or the modes of spraying, coating and the like, and can be selected according to the existing processes in the prior art as long as the effects can be realized. This is like the lamp at the head of a television remote control, and the inside of the lamp cannot be seen when not in use, and after the user presses the remote control button, the lamp is on, and the light inside the lamp can be seen clearly. When the light source lamp 21 is not lit, the cartridge case 12 is dark in a natural light state, and the user cannot clearly see the inside of the cartridge case 12. When the light source lamp 21 emits light, the smoke liquid in the liquid storage cavity 11 emits light, so that the smoke cartridge shell 12 becomes more transparent, and the smoke liquid inside the smoke cartridge shell 12 can be clearly observed to emit light. This embodiment can increase the difference of state when the electron cigarette is not used and when using.

In each of the embodiments described above, the light guide 22 and/or cartridge housing 12 are optionally selected from the following materials: PC (polycarbonate), ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene), PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate), PP (polypropylene), PCTG (polyethylene terephthalate-1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol), PETG (polyethylene terephthalate-1, 4-cyclohexanedimethanol), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), glass or silica gel.

In addition, in the above embodiments, the electronic cigarette of the present invention should further include an atomizing component for heating, such as a heating component, a liquid guiding component, and the like, and a battery for supplying power, a circuit board, and other components that may be involved in the electronic cigarette, and the electronic cigarette of the present invention may be configured according to actual needs. The atomizing assembly, power source, circuit board, microphone, and related accessories are not limited in this disclosure and thus will not be described again here.

While the invention has been shown and described with reference to certain preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the foregoing is a more detailed description of the invention, taken in conjunction with the specific embodiments thereof, and that no limitation of the invention is intended thereby. Various changes in form and detail, including simple deductions or substitutions, may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
